That’s why I endorse Elizabeth “Beth” Cullen for the Newport School Committee.Beth understands that every student’s journey is unique, and she has consistently shown empathy and commitment in addressing the needs of all Newport’s students. She recognizes that a wide majority of our diverse student population requires more than just academic support to thrive—they need career development opportunities, mentorship, and targeted alternative pathways to success that meet students where they are. Beth is a strong proponent for implementing and expanding technology and career training, developing vocational opportunities, cultivating community internships and work study programs for students who are often sidelined and underserved by traditional academic routes. Beth’s forward- thinking vision and dedication to serving and empowering all students will position Newport’s school system as a national leader in 21st century public education. Beth is the right choice for this job. Linda Iribarren Newport, RI</div></body>
